COMMENTS OF RUDOLFO GHIOLDI, ᾿

LEADING MEMBER OF THE COMMUNIST

PARTY OF ARGENTINA, REGARDING ee LEADERSHIP MATTERS IN CUBA κι πο

A source, who has. furnished reliablé information in the past, in late April, 1965, advised as follows:

RudolfeAGhioldi, leading member of the Communist Party (CP) of Argentina, and a recent visitor to Cuba, in late February, 1965, discussed generally the subject of | leadership matters in Cuba. The essence of his remarks was as follows:

On the question of the “struggle” between the old Partido Socialista Popular (CP) of Cuba and The July 26 Movement of Premier Fidel Castro Ruz. This is natural but as

time goes on these groups are getting closer. Both Fidel -and

S brother, Raul Castro Ruz, will heip to see that Emilo

/Aragones , Secreta of the United Party_of the Socialist

! Revolution (SURS) ΟἹ “ΖΦ ccomplishes this. vi

As to Carlos) afelhodriquez. He still is in the leadership of the PURS' and has the confidence of Fidel. Why then the change of Rodriquez? This was because agriculture had become the most important problem in Cuba and Fidel took this into his own hands. Now both the positm of Ministry of Agrarian Reform and Ministry of Agriculture. are in the hands of Fidel - in order to better concentrate. By 1970, he wants to harvest ten million tons of sugar and expand the base for livestock production, as well as undertake an expansion of the citrus industry. This is a very big agricultural program. This was proposed by Fidel and because it is an ambitious plan, the decision to merge authority was made. Comrade Rodriquez is still a member of the Ministry of the Cuban Government and two possible posts. are open to him - ideology or economics.

"+" While there are some contradictions, the Latin American CPs are now drawing closer to Cuba. Our contacts with both Fidel and Raul prove that there are no disagree~ ments between the CPs of Latin America and Cuba, and that they are seeking to re~establish old contacts.

The analysis developed along the following lines: : -

It is obvious the’ Chinese have a farereaching, plan for this area. Plans of the ultra- right in the United States and the Chinese coincide since both want

Δ The United States is the aggressor in this area, but Chinese interference helps the United States broaden the conflict - in ‘Vietnam.

Ineeffect, he is asking for the invasion of North Vietnam and saying, "We won't interfére,"

Soviet equipment has helped the people of Vietnam shoot down American planes; The Chinese could not provide this assistance ‘because they do not have its

INFORMATION CONCERNING TRIP OF JAMES Ἐν, JACKSON, EDITOR, .“THE WORKER,'' TO EUROPE.AND AFRICA .'

-

A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, during late April, 1965, advised as follows:

James E. Jackson, Editor of !'The Worker" and a member of the National Board, Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), went to Moscow, USSR, in late. February, 1965, asa member of the CP, USA delegation scheduled. to attend. the March 1, 1965, consultative. meeting -of- nineteén” ‘CPs which” was τὸ aiscuss the topic of unity in the international movement.- Jackson attended this meeting which ran ‘through the period Marech.1-5, 1965.

After the March 1, 1965, meeting was concluded, Jackson indicated a desire to travel to Bulgaria as well as undertake ἃ trip to Africa.- -He--discussed-these “matters: with xYepresent— Ἶ ᾿ atives of the Communist Party of the Soviet. Union (CPSU) who initially were. not too-responsive to -either of these réquests because of the cost. involved and certain hard currency problems being experienced by the Soviet Government. However, after some dickering, the CPSU did approve a week-end trip for Jackson with all expenses: paid to Bulgaria.

After Jackson returned from his trip to Bulgaria, he again renewed his request for his trip to Africa. The CPSU argued strongly against such a trip by noting first of all that they had just paid for a similar trip to Africa which had been taken by Claude Lightfoot, another CP, USA member, a few months prior. They noted that little had been received of value by them from the Lightfoot trip. They emphasized the cost involved and inquired how such a trip would specifically benefit the CP, USA. They also argued

+ €)

INFORMATION CONCERNING TRIP OF sBoder JAMES E. JACKSON, EDITOR, "THE WORKER," TO EUROPE AND AFRICA

against such travel by noting that they had their own people in Africa. Jackson, however, continued to press this matter concerning the trip to Africa with CPSU representatives and finally they agreed they would pay his round-trip fare and give him $20 a day expenses while on the African Continent. The final decision on the part of the CPSU to. undertake the financial costs of this trip was in part due to the fact that Jackson is a Negro but primarily due to the considerable favorable comment the CPSU was receiving from various Parties on the "hit" pro-Soviet speech which Jackson had made at the March lst meeting. In view of these factors, the CPSU felt that they could not then turn Jackson's request down.

- Jackson did go to Africa and spent approximately eight to ten days in Ghana. Following his return, the trip was reported as a "waste of time” and Jackson allegedly accomplished very little. The one thing Jackson did report back was that Shirley Graham Du Bois, an American citizen residing in Ghana, was still actively working for the Chinese,

- ~even perhaps with the connivance of President Kwame Nkrumah

of Ghana.

During a portion of Jackson's visit in the USSR he became very ill and as a result was confined to bed for a number of days. He received medical treatment from the Russians,

Jackson was scheduled to return to the United States in late March or early April, 1965.

ACRNCULEDGENENTS —

Had it not been for the existence of the Communist Party of the United States of America this book could not have been written, ‘

That Party, mercilessly harassed and persecuted from birth by the two major political parties through the Law enforcement agencies that are a formidable part of the govern~ ment apparatus, and maligned and lied about in the metropolitan press and big business -news -agencies, -has steadfastly. fought that Negro citizens should. enjoy the inalienable and legal rights denied: them ag well.as for the rights of 411] exploited segments of our society, It has persistently advocated unity in struggle of _these social forces. .Its fight for national morality has béen consistently. linked _with its struggle ‘for

. world peace.

To the Communist Party, I ackriowledge a lifetime of indebtedness.

..To it_I give my heartfelt thanks and devotion.

My Party did not have to reveal the agony and horror that flows from racign and: the ‘monstrous lynch practices permitted by the two-major parties. These: are heritages of my birth and colour that I have known from my. earliest days. ‘That Party has however exposed the source and analysed the nature of these evils. It has revealed their destructive effect upon - national morality and the integrity of government and their retarding effect on all social development,

Y thank my Party for that enlightennent. No other school I had known save that of struggle has provided such training. It taught how successfully to fight this menace to our country and the world. I give thanks.

To my wife and πὸ daughters I happily acknowledge that their confidence and constant encouragement were deeply inspirational and ‘to all others, ‘especially friends in the. Lenin Library in Mobeow 4 for their helping hand. I express my deepest gratitude,

ENCLOSURE

INTRODUCTION —

These words are not written in bitterness. If at moments they grow bitter to the taste I am hopeful that the fact will not be attributed to any personal reaction to the events with which I deal. Rather trace ‘the effect to the unsavory, inhuman, unnatural and sadistic nature of the men and women with whom these events are associated both in time and place. The causé can be traced to the conditioning they receive in hate and yiolence through the constant dinning in their ears of the. my hs..of. white superiority. The “rewards" that come from acceptance of the myths must be won through the commission of murderous deeds of violence. They are "rewards" given in what is called a free world and those who seek the premiums justify their savagery by their birth -

_they are born white = violence and force are marks of the

a -

superiority of color.

I deal in the pages of this book with the inhuman conditions confronted by black men, women. and youth in their native land. -Behind those millions who accept the myths of

_white superiority to one or another degree and seek reward are those who direct: ‘the formulation and aiserimination of ΄ —

_these myths.

These are among‘the most significant characters in this book. ‘ .

What have they done?

They have destroyed the concept of human’ dignity. They have introduced a way of life in our country by which national morality is corroded and. the very essence of governmental integrity corrupted. They have introduced a process of dehumanization affecting all of us into every medium of "culture."

The degree of normality with which one can live in’ such an atmosphere is determined by the degree to which. he. or she fights against these conditions, The road to Sanity lies through struggle. -No- ‘men. can live normally in so depraved .a

social order without constant protest lest he surrender’ manhood.

status and go to. rot in its decay. It 15 a Soci@ty which one must learn to hate. :

-1 -

. Hatred: οὔ ἃ social order that is destructive of human and. ‘constitutional rights does not call for bitter recriminations against it. Hatred of exploitation of man's oppression of -his fellow man calls for the formulation of a progran of action against it that will attract the greatest number. It wust:- expose those who direct the institutions of oppression, — ‘It. must refute their ideas, disclose their hypocrisy, ‘unmagk ‘their way-of-life which is indeed a way of death and must: ‘call persistently, Systematically and continuously for unity in struggle against this chamber of social horrors.

Love ‘of humanity eolig for hatred of those who dehumanize, ' Η

Hate. aust be made a positive force in removing from the stage of -history those who have made of hate and lust a policy of. government...

These. words’ treat of a conscienceless and wilful deprivation of human rights to human beings by those who have power to do otherwise, They treat of those who have nude -color of. skin: ἃ measure for. evaluating human worths and called the measurement ἃ science; those who deny millions, because of color, gccess τὸ institutions and avenues of learning in science, technology and. ‘the arts prostituting and vulgarizing their natural talents and mocking their just and human demands for equality of rights and opportunities by declaring their degraded status ‘a reflection of their innate backwardness.

‘Nowhere. else on. earth is there a more revolting situation to-be found.

I do. not treat. of the. violence of a foreign foe dehumanized by men in control of state and armies who call for the extermination of those who have been conquered. The . incitement to violence of which I write has been initiated by Americans against Americans, I write of an attempt to degrade part of a nation in the citadel of the society: known as capitalism than which these murderers argue there can be no better system. The attempt. at ‘degradation has boomeranged,

What, in these terrible deeds, is “foreign to our Constitution. has ‘in etdentury been made native to our country. - Our land gave’. birth ipyblood and suffering to one of mankind's

=f,

.2 -

most glorious revolutions. . Among the blood split was that

of the Negro American Crispus Attucks the first to die, that:

of black ‘men who fought together with Geage Washington at Valley Forge and with Lafayette throughout the war. Through the survival of human slavery this magnificent victory was cursed: as with a plague. Never before or since has history recorded so monstrous, ἃ. deed, creating. so great a contradiction.

I am dealing here also with the- heroism of black Americans whose ceaseless , unremitting struggle to consolidate a nation freed from hatred, rich in national integrity whose morality is above -Feproach and- whose. respect for man's dignity is expressed through equality of rights ἃ and opportunities, Men like W.E.B.«& Du Bois.

There. is reason ‘for -black ‘Atiericans to love this country. All that it has of music, dancing and folklore has been tinged with and. vitalized by the sweat and blood and tears. of black men. and women: In Saying this ‘I do not seek to deprecaie the magnificent contributions in these -areas of some white Americans, But had their -contributions in the fight to build a nation one and indivisible been proportionately equal

to those of black Americans. the end of racism would long since

have passed.

In the ‘constancy: and- depth of their freedom struggles the record of ‘service to his country ‘of the black American is unsurpassed. It was’ the slave upraisings of the Prossers, Turners and Veseys that quickened the coming of the war to end. Slavery. These magnificent struggles gave rise to the Abolitionist, Movement. This response Of black men under Such conditions testifies to the effect of environment on men and the black man's affinity to mankind.

When history dictated the cancellation of slavery that the political, economic and cultural growth would no longer be strangled capitalism the leader in that struggle extracted the. poison of racism to be used as an opiate and a divisive. agent. This was its Second betrayal of American democracy.

Racialism while not -born here has found this: its most

‘favorable breeding, ‘place, The ‘proof: lies heré: Millions of

emigrants who have found: a place of refuge here .have early.

succumbed to the virus: of. white Superiority. ~ ‘Capitalist-spdkes--- men, ideologists. and. propagandists have through a systematically

~3-

institutionalized précdss tadoctrinated these newcomers

in order that they would not join forces with black Americans who were zealously seeking to make the country all that the newcomers thought it was - a deniocracy free from curse of color prejudices, The facts speak against the apologists, rationalists and self-serving adverse ‘witnesses,

I deal here with the birth and growth of a bona fide political party made logical by these conditims. Many features of American life Have made this Party's development inevitable. But none have exercised a more dynamic influence on the Communist ‘Party than has racialism; the product of American capitalisn. ΕΝ

If too strenuous efforts are made to expose the greatest beneficiaries from racialism it is the logic of events that- dictating this condemnation discloses the historical neqessity to expose the guilty if the people are to be helped to affect ἃ cure and apply a penalty.

If these words Lack the eloquence and fire that characterized the indictments of the Nazi murderers arraigned - -in Nuremberg.-among..the_ruins_of Europe and the Third Reich, XY believe that there is no less justification in hoping that - ~ - they provoke aS much - indignation. Our Goebbels' and fimmlecs, ‘ our "power elite," atrocities must both be arraigned and ~~ punished that America be’ saved. The crimes ‘recounted here are of lesser magnitude, than those which Mr. Justice Robert Jackson so pitilessly condemned at Nuremberg - but they are of longer duration. They are crimes against the people of the United States, crimes against humanity which if not now brought to an end through the people's unity in action can only lead toa ploody holocaust that must spread beyond our shores. They are’. crimes that no longer can be tolerated,

Those who lead this fight are foremost in a struggle that holds more than the fate of the nation. It is their cause through their ‘identification with the nation and mankind. But it is the cause of all. who desire that this nation. shall. survive under free men. Thus no longer menacing those who are. fighting for freedom elsewhere. The magnificence. ‘of, Negro, leadership testifies: to. their deathiess courage and will for - -$reedon. -- νας πὸ ls

Here as ‘Yy ΡΘΕ δὲ ΓΕ Ἵ am not referring to those who throw bombs, or Light ‘the fires where human beings are burnt to death in the Savage rites practiced to the cult of .racism. I am writing of those behind the scenes, the men who having power, use it only to ‘corrupt and brutalize while they assume an air of sanctity and mouth lofty sounding phrases about their love for ‘every living ‘thing except -- communism and comminists., The guilty have made mockery of the Constitution, They have made a scrap of paper” of every treaty they have signed in which the rights of: man were stated. Read their Bogota Declaration and their Alliances fdr Progress. Theirs is a responsibility to ‘the yorld ‘ho less in-depth than was that of Germany's fratricidal nurdergrs.

This story covers my life's span.. During the period of that seventy odd years. more than five thousand lynchings, --bombing of- churches and homes: burnings .at the stake accompanied by cannibalistic orgies, have taken place in the United States. The swamps and bayous: of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,

South Carolina, Louisiana, ‘Florida and Texas have given up the mutilated bodies: of hundreds of other black | men, some citizens

of the state in which they were done to death - all citizens of the.-United- States... These_murdered | men'were Negro-Americans, Afro~Americans -if you will, Their murderers were AtlericanS ~~ ~~ duped, brainwaghed and dehumanized by- phoney professors who are prostituted niseducators in the myths of white supremacy, This —~ fact bears repetition’. , .

Records of these fiendish debaucheries have been gathered together by men who controlled affairs at Tuskegee University in Alabania, by.-competent researchers from Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia, and by. statisticians employed by and responsible to some of the leading. churches of the country. ᾿

They are ‘not fabricated records. No charges have been | made that they’ were faisified.

If there are those who would not admit. these documents into evidence. before the court of civilized world opinion because of their origin I ‘gubmit. the. fact. that every President since’ . Abraham Lincoln has condemned these crimes ‘as-‘impugning the good -name--of the-United States. if. not_.of. moral l grounds. These statements in Presidential “addresses both sustain, the evidence; in part accumufated by AfrorAmericans, and discredit, and implicate

- 5 =

the government tho: «λοβάθψῥ, ona talk about but cannot act against the poverfully: Pisced racists whose terrifying philosophy of superior and-inferior people has been transformed into criminal | policies of government.

"The deep. South says never" to Presidential preach- ments and Supreme:Coprt- interpretations of the Constitution.

When a vital. segment of a nation seeking to enlarge their contributions’ to the- whole and to enrich its industrial growth, and political. ‘and cultural expression, is forcibly precluded from:sq ‘doing the nation shows signs of degeneration and the restrictions ‘myst “adversely still further affect’ the demoralization of : ‘the ‘people as a whole.

He who talks of the fear of black domination in the political life of. any city ‘or state of the Union only seeks to confuse, ° No: ‘wan fears the impossible. The fears that should upset. ‘and ‘move ‘men to action now is that the cont inued political. domination of those who feed and nurture racialism must “‘{nevitably ‘destroy the nation. He who talks

of black domination: fears ‘black and white unity.

This. hook. grows out of a search to find and ΕΝ identify with thode social forces with whom association creates no shame or loss of: belf-respect, demands: no apologies and- evokes no rationalizations, “The quest had then to be directed toward social forces’ which saw the necessity to remold the world and had both the ‘will and some knowledge of how the tasks were to be performed, Such social forces would, because they must, have an undergtanding of the operation of. the laws that had made the world what it is. They had to be doctors of the body politic, - They had: to extend beyond our territorial

sphere for our country is destined not to be the enslaver of

the world but one: of its emancipators. Those who had over~ thrown a slave econany had the power at hand to destroy the remnants of slavery. — If they retained and nurtured racisn, it was because racism holds values for them. Those who would destroy racism utterly | must seek the destruction of all that it feeds upon. ;

It was 5 elosr ‘that all doors to man's exploitation of

‘his fellow man. had. to. he. barred. All doors leading to the

realm of human relatijcrs where equality of rights and opportunities reigned supreme had to be opened. And all that furthered complete development of such opportunities had to be supplied. Such q social force had to exist or society was ἃ product of anarchy alone.

The search for that social group has been successful. It has carried me to Eyrope, Asia and the Americas. It has brought many rich experjences, many rewards as well as pain and suffering. These experiences were more varied, diversified and revealing because. I was a Negro and of the caste of the untouchables at home where capitalist society had reached its zenith. I found at home those who denied my contributions to its democracy and yet professed a willingness to give me and mine equality of rights and opportunities as soon as the control of government was won for labor. A. M. Simons of the Socialist Party expressed this thought: most interestingly in his booklet, "Social Forces in American History." That these social medicos could not see me and mine as equal partners and participants in the desperate operation to wrest the government ‘- from the hands of a common oppressor created grave doubts in my mind that they would: recognize me as deserving of equal rights, a full scale beneficiary. whenand.if alone they could accomplish that historic task. ‘History does not know of freedom being =~ —~ given. - . I was intrigued by those who spoke of a “science of society;" those who had sought for, found and defined the laws governing the movement of society and determining the relations of men. Such an-approach included me and mine. Such people projected a course of change growing out of struggles of all oppressed against the oppressor. In the recent past I was especially impressed by their analysis of the world significance of the rise of Hitler and Hitlerism and their call for such unity in struggle aS would create an alignment of social forces capable of smashing Nazism aborning.

I wanted “in" on the freedom struggle. I thought hack on the suffering of my people under Slavery. They had been decisive in the defeat of slavery but

not equal partners at the ‘council table where. reconstruction ᾿ Was considered. Now equality at _the conference table was |

. 7 -

necessary in the struggles against those who so ruthlessly utilized the remnants of slavery.

The removal of capitalism from the stage of history in the USA might be affected without the deluge of blood that featured the Civil War if unity was'realized. I could not be satisfied with “you'll get yours when." I wanted to talk about how all could get theirs now.

I have not wanted this book to be a political treatise, Time and again my wife and other friends have warned me of that danger declaring that the part I played. in some. of the . significant battles for Negro liberation could be so elaborately and graphically described as to bring the politics and economies into focus without using either directly as a point of departure. There has been in this span of years I have known a war to free the Philippines, which ended in 8 transfer’ of power from the - rulers of Spain to the rulers of the United States. There has. been a “war to end all wars" and to save democracy, during which President Woodrow Wilson mocked the Negro advocates of equality and a war to free the world’ from the blight of fascism. "Speak . On SOme of the lessons from Negro participation in these . Struggles," my_ friends said. _

Negro Americans have participated in all of these struggles and emerged from each social pariah denied, at home, the very democracy it was said they were sent abroad to save. Surely in all these experiences those guilty of racism could and should have been identified and exposed. But they are clever people. Their ideologists are capable and well paid men. They have in racism a vitally potent weapon which they use with great skill and must be made to drop.

It is undoubtedly most important to know who must be fought if one seeks freedom through struggle. Such knowledge does not guarantee victory for it does not teach how to fight. But I have found that it helps in the identification of those with whom alliances cannot profitably be made. and. those with whom alliances must be Sought, regardless of how difficult the task may be.

Every gue vent touched upon: in this book has been

ae ~

States of America, ‘tha δῶν banking-corporate consortiums, the top echelons of the C.f.4. and Pentagon, the politicians associated with these men of power, On most occasions they lurk in the shadows bestowing favors on those whom we fought. In no Single instance were they clearly visible. The “power elite" know how it conceal the fact that they constitute the main enemy.

Today racialism is everywhere associated with colonialism, and racialism has its deepest roots in the USA, Today racialism is being fought uncompromisingly wherever it raises its head and nowhere is it being fought more - tenaciously than in the USA. Yet those. who now lead the fight most courageously do not identify the foe whose defeat alone will terminate this phase of struggle.

-Those who would save our country from the terrible curse of raclalism and the dehumanizing scourge that is inherent in it should desperately seek good relations with all who desire fundamental changes in the form or content or both of our society. Today these are, all of them, anti-imperialist

struggles.

Negroes up from slavery, whose forefathers played a

- decisive part in ending. that evil, may well play a decisive

part in the battle for these changes.

One of ‘the most interesting lessons I have learned from my experiences is: there is not a racist who is not an —~ anti-communist. Nor an anti-communist who did not at some point have to traffic with some sector of reaction. At the Same time I have never found a communist who was a racist although in some I have seen remnants of that dread disease.

It is interesting to note how vociferously the racists argue that Negroes will never be communists. There is little consolation in the thought for them. Examined in the light of American history the Negro will be seen to be its most consistent and persistent revolutionary. The Negro is a

‘ proud and courageous as well as sagacious segment of the

American Nation. Before he knew freedom black men fought with George Washington at Valley Forge and with Andrew Jackson at ᾿ New Orleans. Black men.from. Haiti fought in our Revolutionary War, There is scarcely a country in the Western Hemisphére

ΤᾺ

“-..ῶ9 -

that has not known the biack man for a revolutionary. In all instances the revolutionary demands went beyond his own demand for freedom. He always enlarged his subjective demands to meet the needs of the objective situation. He will and is today moving steadily but inevitably in that direction.

He who demands equally of rights and opportunities and does not recognize that these are indivisible regardless of ἡ color has learned nothing from history no matter how learnedly he writes its pages. That is what the racist would allege is the condition of the Negro. But let reaction look to Cuba; examine the social content of the torment in Panama; let reaction look closely at Africa if it would know what the place of the black men in the wave of revolutionary struggles that sweep the world. Reaction needs only look more closely. Hatred and contempt do not constitute a firm foundation. for realistic survey.

Best of all let the racist analyze the home front. Objective conditions are dictating changes in the domestic struggle. The Negro on the home front is linked up with Africa, He is moving in an anti-imperialist direction and speaking about his responsibilities to Vietnam, The Negro thinks not alone of

- himself. _ The unity. demands of history will not. be lost to black

men. AS high as is the level of the struggle of the Amerié¢an Negro it will reach new_and infinitely higher ideological levels. The racists speak out of théir fears when they deny that Negroes will be communists and in this they continue their racialist approach to social questions,

It is more interesting that not since the Abolitionist Hovement has a non-colored non-partisan group sought to organize for the. destruction of racialism. Yet if it is America’s number one problem that is because racism holds the greatest menace to all democratic institutions in the USA. This, situation does not have the urgency it had in yesterdays. The Negro has mounted enough interracial movements to contain all ‘who sincerely desire to fight the. racists. Those who fight on other fronts should note this fact.

A study of the desegregation decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Brown Case of 1954 reveals an admission by this branch of the government that the Constitution -was..being. violated. in the treatment of the Negro. The violation persists. " ΝΞ

- 10 - ᾿ .

In the Preamble t. the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" was written thig "Whereas Clause:

"Whereas the people of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standard of life in larger freedom."

And in Article 2 Section 1 of that Declaration it held: “Everyone is entitled to all the rights. and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind such as. race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other’ status."

"This story is replete with examples of the violation of the constitutional rights of Negro citizens in the United | States of America. It will prove that America has in her treatment of her Negro citizens violated her commitments under the Charter of the United Nations to all other member states. (os πο —--This-it -has—done.. consciously and with impunity, exposing to the world its duplicity in national, and international affairs.

“A great American jurist in conducting the Nuremberg - trial of the Nazi murderers said that: The manher in which a government treats its own nationals is the acid test as to the basic goals of its foreign policy. The treatment of Negro citizens testifies as to the nature of America's foreign policy and its attitude toward Vietnam, the Congo, Mozambique confirms it.

In the experiences and struggles recounted here we have found our government so wanting in integrity as to destroy all semblance of national morality. We'believe that the hope of our country's future lies in the unity of its people in the fight against racialism, More than that we must state categorically that the Negro peoples struggle for full ‘integration in this great nation is shaping the destiny of the United States. It is one of the most magnificent social Phenomena _ of our time:

he folioving information was furnished by a source which has supplied roliable information an the ‘past.

in carly Harch, 1965, Jeading moanlers..of the Comiunist Party of Italy (CPE): autlined the position of the CPI on the ‘question of unity in the world commmist movenent. The essence of their zsenarks was as 2oLlovs:

ν The CPL opposes: a. feneral necting of world communist parties at this time because it fecig conditions are not ripe fox such a. meoting. The CPE ia not opposed, in principle,. to euch ἃ seeting, but, it, feols that such 2 meeting at this tine Will, cxacerbate existing differences pid lead to disunity

wather than unity in the world communist movenent.

" There are many. new problens which need study before. euch a necting is held. These probiens include tho strugele of the workers in the doveloned cowmtries ond an ahalysis of “coloniak and nececolonial forms” plus the now forms of the Aiberation movonent. The CPI feels it vould be. imporsible to = resolve such problens in a general meating and believes such a conference should be hold only after αὶ dilirent study of the

problems has ‘been. made. EX 110 “agp “Ἢ wid . ᾿ ἘΜ Ἃ» 0 ΡΥ. , , . om fi ᾿ bz. AL

While not dopoaing δ future world conférence of comm- nist parties, the CPI proposés a different approach: It suggests that 2irst there should be common initiatives on "burning issues" such as peace, Vietnam, thé Congo and similar matters: There, should be.not..only bilateral discussions but also multilateral conferences such as the one held in Havana, Cuba, by the communist

‘parties in Latin Anerica..

w

It will be aifeieule to eliminate the sdgsexéncos which ‘exist between the Commnist. Party Of the Soviet. Union and the. Commis Party of China (CPC). Theso differéncés cat be minimized without, surréndering principles, and polemics can’ ‘continue’ without slander ; a

The March 1, 1965, ‘consultative meeting ar communist partiés in Moscow, Russia, although. changed in form-fvom what. τ΄.

‘was: Originally proposed, had hidden. dangers because’ the Asian

parties, particularly China, were absent, The masses in ‘Italy -- will have a negative wepard . for ‘the meeting because China’: Wasi:

La)

Of the’ Ὅρα, Th addition, the: Chinese “could ‘aswex't ‘that an

organization, was being Loxned' to oppose’ them: by ‘the: partiotpanta,— es taking ‘upon themselves the right to be a "permanent board.‘ - | This will be ‘bad for comminist. parties in capitalist and newly

emerging countries’since it might appeax that, the corimunist

parties were reverting back to. old organizational fortis:

It has beén 21d the CPX is opposed. to any world cons ference and favors “polycentrism," The CPI is ‘not in favor of a regional organization that would divide the socialist world tvon the ‘communist. parties’ in capitalist. countriés it is in favor of a wider world organization which will: be all<inclusive, Unity 3n the world communist. movemént can be organized today or the basis of a différent: form*than was: used in the past: without 2 new world

‘eénter, The CPI is wholeheartedly Zor autonomy for: each partys

It favors initiative on the part. of every party, yet unity on the common aim, The worldsviide communist movement should not bé* | split into sevéral parts, with one center for advanced parties; anothex for Asian countries or still others for other Fegions.!

REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO (BRAZZAVILLE)

During late April, 1965, a source, who has furnished - reliable information in the past, advised as follows:

Ξ-΄

It was recently learned from highly placed officials in the Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), that the USSR will continue to supply arms to the rebel forces for the continuation of the revolt in the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville). The USSR considers the retreat of the rebel forces to be only temporary until they have : accumulated sufficient weapons to resume the conflict. The Soviet Union is encouraging the United Arab Republic and the Democratic and Popular Republic of Algeria to supply arms to the Brazzaville rebels by promising to these countries that the Soviet Union will replace any arms they ship to the rebels.

In addition it was learned that the Socialist Republic of Cuba had definitely been shipping arms to the rebels -via Algeria. A leading member of the government of Cuba noted that they had enough tanks to spare some for the rebels since they had newer ones as replacements. .

PRINTING EQUIPMENT FOR THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CANADA FROM THE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC

A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, in late April, 1965, advised as follows:

In mid-April, 1965, it was learned that the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SUPG) had reached an agreement with the Communist Party (CP) of Canada for the purchase by the latter of some new_printing equip- ment to be shipped to Canada. This new printing equipment that the CP of Canada will secure is a demonstrator model which had been used at the recent Leipzig Trade Fair. The CP of Canada, according to the SUPG, received a very good deal. They will pay a little actual cash for a down pay- ment and the remainder of the cost will be handled by the ~~ ~ CP - ofCanada doing printing work-on-behalf of -the--German. . . -

Democratic Republic (GDR). The printing that the CP of

- Canada will do for the GDR will be in English and much of the material will be sent back to the GDR. The SUPG estimated the value of this printing equipment as being worth many thousands of dollars.

In connection with the information set forth in the enclosed letterhead memorandum, CG 5824-S* further noted that during his conversations with EVELYN. VAFIADES in Prague, Czechoslovakia, he had learned that she is working for an international youth organization and not a Czech CP organization and thus she is ineligible for a pension from the CP of Czechoslovakia. Because of her age, she requested CG 5824-S* to see what he could do for her with the CP of Czechoslovakia regarding a future pen~ Sion, Although CG 5824-S* felt Little could be accomplished in this regard, he did, prior to his departure from Prague on 4/23/65, prépare a letter addressed to the Central Com- mittee, CP of Czechoslovakia, concerning this American comrade. He requested the Central Committee to give con= sideration to a future pension for her as a courtesy to the CP, USA. ,

Source advised he had done this in EVELYN VAFIADES! behalf because NORMAN: FREED, CP of Canada representative to the “World Marxist Review,” would. be departing Prague this Summer, 1965, and he would therefore be losing a major contact, So, the source believed that if he maintained good relations with the VAFIADES', he would still have a source which could be considered reliable. He further noted that JOHN VAFIADES had agreed ἕο cooperate with him although hé does not feel that VAFIADES is of: the same caliber as NORMAN FREED,

TIMUR TIMOFEEV, INSTITUTE OF WORLD ECONOMY AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS, USSR ACADEMY OF SCIENCE, MOSCOW, _USSR_. oe -

A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, during late April, 1965, advised as follows:

In April, 1965, it was learned that Timur Timofeev, son of the. late Eugene Dennis, General Secretary, Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), who is now acting as Deputy Director, institute of World Economy and International Affairs, USSR Academy of Science, Moscow; USSR, has prepared a thousand-~ page thesis for his Doctorate Degree. In the very near future, Timofeev will appear before a scholarship board for a decision as to whether a Doctorate Degree will be awarded him on the basis of his completed thesis. If he gets this degree, the additional prestige he will receive plus the

-eurrent ‘position he holds--in the Institute--witl rank him - —

high among the leading scholars in the USSR. However, it

‘was also learned that there is some possibility that Timofeev

may run into a problem when he appears before the board. One of the members of this board is (first name unknown) Geyevsky, the author of the book entitled, "Servants of Monopolies.”

This book of Geyevsky was very severely attacked by Gus Hall,. General Secretary, CP, USA, several years ago because of the author's alleged complete lack of understanding of the American labor movement and some remarks contained therein that were extremely critical of the trade union movement. Geyevsky is aware of Timofeev's background and connections with the CP, USA and could. conceivably be a stumbling block to him at this time.

' Parties the crude, insulting manner of the CPC leadership.

_ The CPSU chose rather to let the facts speak for themselves and thus the CPC would stand condemned in the eyes of the international communist movement.,

Relative to the form in which. the KOSYGIN-MAO meeting was recorded, CG 5824-S* advised that this was a translated. transcription of a stenographic recording of the dialogue between the two delegations. As pointed out in New York airtel 4/29/65, it was read to the assembled group.i listed in the airtel; further, CG 5824-S* briefly scanned this document from the files of the Central Conmmittée, CPSU, which bore in the title the word "stenogran." The document purported to be a substantialgverbatin account of the _statements of each participant, thé rejoinders, interruptions, ete. The name of the speaker was given and then there would follow his comments in the first, person..

' With respect to CG 5824-:5Ἐ 56. opinion whether the CPSU would give a different slant or emphasis to these events, ΝΕ | ‘CG 5824+S* advised that he does not. believe that the CPSU in. fact did so nor that it would have been prudent to do so. In his opinion the CPSU would be afraid to attempt such a thing . because that deception. would soon, catch up with them. From — the. source's. discussions with representatives of. other Parties and: from what he las read subsequently, hé is of the firm opinion that the stenogram was read to all. the other Parties present in the USSR and may perhaps have been made available in some form to the ather sociatist countries.. If the CPSU had made an effort to. give a diffefent.slant or emphasis to different Parties in a matter in which so many Parties were involved, “it would: Soon come home to roost" to thé detriment of the position of the CPSU. CG 5824-S* commented that the only emphasis supplied during the reading of the document wags supplied by the listeners Because some of the statements by the CPC were almost unbeTievable. For example, someone exclaimed, “that guy, must be nuts!" in reference to MAO during the reading of that portion of the stenogram where MAO was expounding on the dialectics of health. When MAQ was ranting on about how "tough" the CliinéSe dre and that they go around without jackets during zero degree weather, someone remarked that ‘MAO was following the fascist line of MUSSOLINI, with his Super-race

Re New York airtel 4/29/65, to the Bureau enclosing letterhead memorandum entitled, ‘Power Struggle in Leadership Of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union,"

As a matter of interest for the Bureau, set forth ‘hereinbelow is information furnished by CG 5824~-S* to SAs RICHARD W. HANSEN and WALTER A. BOYLE on 5/1/65, relating to the manner in which the source obtained the information set forth in referenced letterhead memorandum, This material does not strictly constitute what might be termed reportable information but we believe it is a typical example of the manner in which this source has been able to ferret out important items of information and provides some of the color dnd background typical of the Solo Missions. It is strictly for the information of the Bureau and is not being set forth in any other manner for dissemination.

When questioned as to the manner in which such | information of such high import was obtained by him, CG 5824~S* furnished the following, which is set forth in a substantially verbatim manner:

I sensed that something was: happening there but I realized from past experience that it is no use talking to these guys officially because once they are pledged to secrecy ψ'

they will sit and wait it out. However, ΣῈ you keep your ears tuned you can find out what is going on. —

What caused me to be suspicious that something was going on was the following. In Moscow they will show at the Central Committee Hotel almost any film that you want to ask for. They showed one film called Something like "Silence," about which there is a bp debate raging in the Soviet Union, In this film they show the war ending, the veterans returning, the scandals of the Black Market, etc. Some come back from the war loyal, patriotic, and fuli of zeal, The hero of the film is one of these. Then the film shows the arrest of this fellow's father. It Shows the attitudes of his erstwhile friends, students, and particularly a professor in the institute, who turned against his father and against him because’ His father has been arrested. His response is: not to even talk about it. His feeling is that if all these people would believe the accusations against his father then he will not even speak of it to them. This is. very odd behavior from. -a communist. because a communist is always supposeito either - confess or discuss. Finally he pointed the finger at the Party's Secretary and said, "You are behaving just like a fascist... This: has, never been heard of to do this in regard toa Party Secretary. ι

So as I say there is a big debate going on. The old time Party people think that this is going too far. They. askéd me my opinion, I told, them that I think he went too far against the Party. I said that were I this young man 1 wight . have been angry, I might have discussed or even argued about it, but: f would certainly never accuse ἃ Party Secretary of acting like a fascist. ‘These Party guys said yes, they think so too. They said the.younger people have it all wrong. As a result ΟΣ this discussion I had the feeling that something was happening concerning the old days.

Then I visited old man Mintz (Itsak I. Mintz, leading academician in history at the USSR Academy of Sciences), He is a historia and participated in every history of the USSR ever written since the 1930s, He wrote a four or five volume history on the last war. He also has ἃ 16 volume work to his credit.

He is an old friend of mine, So I saw him again and I got some of-this. ᾿

21

CG 134-46 Sub B

Then, I .called Timmy: (Timur Timofeev, Deputy Director, Institute of World Economy and International Affairs, USSR Academy of Sciences, and the son of Eugene Dennis, deceased, former General Secretary of the Communist Party, USA). I told him I wanted to see hin, So I went. ovér to Timmy"s apartment and. after the usual socializing, I asked him what's new. Now Timmy is sort of shaky. a bit. right at this nioment. He just wrote’ a 1,000 page book for his thesis for his doctoraté. After awhile Timmy said let’s go for a walk. At first, in view of my physical condition, XI told him I didn't want to go for a walk and that I'd rather take it easy. But after thinking about it for a bit I decided that perhaps it would be a good idea to have a private discusSion with Timmy and so I Said, “Let's go." So Timmy and I walked the streets for hours. I was so, late getting back to my hotel that I'd been locked ont: I had to cross myself and swear to Timmy that this information was for ἠδ οὔθ. except maybe, Gus, Hall.

So you can see that what happens is that you get. a Sentence here and there from maybe a dozen or two dozen people. Then if you can get a couple of people to give

. you a few things in sequence it all begins to fit together

and you get the story. When you get a. ‘bere outline such as Timmy and Mévitz gaye’me, theh you get ‘an. idea, whefe to fit in the promotions atid @motions. and reshuffling of people _ in leadership.

"SOVIET LIFE," FORMERLY "USSR MAGAZINE," PUBLISHED BY USSR EMBASSY IN UNITED STATES

A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, in late April, 1965, advised as follows:

It has been learned that the USSR is seriously considering not renewing the contract with the United States firm which is currently printing for them the publication. "Soviet Life," formerly known as "USSR Magazine," published by the USSR Embassy in the United.States. This magazine is published under reciprocal agreements between the Govern~ ments of the United States and USSR. These agreements

.... provide for the publication and circulation of the magazine

"Soviet Life" in the United States and the magazine "America" in the USSR.. The USSR may then instead of publishing this . magazine in the United States publish it in the USSR -and then Ship it to the United States for circulation. The basis

for sucha decision would be the saving of some additional United States dollars because of the continuing shortage

of hard currency.

This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI. It is the property of the FBI and is loaned to your agency; it and its contents are not to be distributed outside your agency.

Preliminary discussions have now been held between representatives of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) and the Communist Party of Canada (CPC) relative. to a joint training school to be held in Canada in 1965. There will be additional discussions on this matter once Norman Freed, current CPC representative to the "World Marxist Review," official theoretical organ of the international communist movement headquartered in Prague, Czechoslovakia, returns to Canada during the Summer of 1965,

᾿ς "TO. the Communist Party of the “Dear ‘Comrades,

"On May 8, 1965, will be the 20th anniversary of ‘the liberation of the German people from fascism, The world- historic victory. over fascism was the result of the. fight of the anti-Hitler coalition to which the Soviet Union made the greatest contribution.

TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF THE CONE IAL LIBERATION OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE FROM FASCISM, BERLIN, MAY, 1965

"In the German Democratic Republic the people took the lessons from history and established a new, socialist social order whose highest principle is the protection of peace. Thus, German imperialism and militarism were deprived forever in one part of Germany of the fundamentals of their policy of conquest.

“In the other part. of Germany rearmament, anti- communism.,and revanchism have become state policy. A new dangerous situation in Europe has arisen through the endeavor of the Bonn Government to obtain power over atomic weapons, an atomic mine belt on the border of the German Democratic

- Republic and CSR and the plans of the camouflaged warfare.

"On. the 20th anniversary of the liberation we think of the victims of the anti-fascist resistance struggle. This day is also for us a reminder and obligation to strengthen the common fight; in particular, of the peoples of the European __._ continent, against _the danger of an atomic world conflagration.

"In the interest of the solidification of the brotherly relations. between: our parties the Central Committee -of-the ae Socialist Unity Party of Germany invites a leading representative of your party to participate in the festivities on May 8.

"We shall be grateful for your prompt answer, "With socialist greeting,

“Central Committee of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany

A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, in late April, 1965, advised as follows:

In March, 1965, discussions were held in Moscow in which the following individuals participated:

Olivares Sanches, Cuban Ambassador to USSR - Manuel Garcia, First Consul, Cuban Embassy Jaime Riverio, Press Secretary, Cuban Embassy

The essence of their remarks was-as follows: ——- ὀ ἀῬ--

Our country is willing to invite a number of Communist Party (CP), USA sponsored youths to Cuba following | the conclusion of the 9th World Youth Festival which will be held in Algiers, Algeria, during the summer of 1965. These youths can travel to Cuba by chartered ship which is scheduled to sail from Algiers after the closing of the festival. Since we have some problems with hard currency, it will be necessary for these youths to pay their own fare to Cuba; however, we will pay the fare of these youths back to the United States. Cuba has viewed the request concerning the visit of such youths with sympathy, but because of the limitations due to money we had to provide this answer.

THE VISTINAN SUTUATION

Soviet Aid to Vietnan

The Soviet Union has been providing ‘assistance to. North Vietnam "even before the recent events in that area.' For a number of years the Soviet’ Union has been supplying large amounts. of arms and combat equipment, as well. asassisting in the training of. niiitary personnel. For 2 long time Soviet public organizations ‘have provided the "“patriots't an South Vietnam assistance in the form of medical supplies, clothing aiid other items of necessity.

In connection with the "extension of aggression" on the part of the. United States against North Vietnam, the Soviet Govern- ment has given considerable additional assistance to. strengthen the. defense of North Vietnam, The Soviet Union stands ready to supply North. Vietnam with armament including that necessary to strengthen antiaircraft and (gastal defensés.: In addition, the Soviet Govern-= ment has consented to send Soviet specialists to "mister" the < supplied military equipment «.

Measures. to Improve North Vietnam's Defensé

- Yn accordance with an understanding. reached with North Vietnan,- the Soviet Union has lately been carrying out urgent measures dimed at improving the capabilities of North Vietnam's defense, In that regard, combat equipment is being transported ἕο. North Vietnam and deliveries ave made ‘in close coordination with North Vietnamese leaders who determine the size and time of deliveries for "various armament." The Soviet Union ‘is endeavoring to satisfy all requests made by the North Vietnan Government and will continue to give assistance of "all kinds." τῷ

Difficulties with ‘the Chinese Amy ὦ

‘Zhe Soviet Union has been experiencing éattacurties in - connection with the position taken by the Chinese who have refused categorically to coordinate aid to North Vietnam with the. Soviets. -

While on a recent visit in North Vietnam, a Soviet dele~ gation expressed the need: for a joint statement by North Vietnam, China, the Soviet Union and other Marxist-Leninist countries, which would serve as a strong warhing to the United States. It was the — Soviets’ opinion that such a. statement would show that the Marxist- Leninist countries, including China dnd the Soviet Union, were

_united in their determination to repulse "United States aggression."

the North Vietnamese leaders welcomed this idea and on February 22,

1965, prepared and sent to. the Soviet Union a draft joint statement. Although the Soviet Union réadily accepted the draft statencnt, |

China did not. The Chinese leaders stated that since joint state-

monts in support of North Vietnam had been made by all Harzist-

Leninist countries, there was. no necéssity for tho draft statenent. 4 prepared by the North Victnamecso lcaders.

Soviet Transp ort Planes Not Allowéd to Fly Over Chinese Territory

_ The Soviet Unior also met opposition from China while ‘endeavoring to ship armament to North Vietnam. In that connection the Sovict Govérnment on Fobruary 25, 1965,. requested the Chinese Govorrnent to permit Soviet transport planes to fly over Chinese territory. ΤῺ xeply, the Chinese Ministry of Yoreign Affairs sent ἃ note to the Soviet Government strongly refusing to permit this action. -In on offort to justify its position, the Chinése Gavernment alleged that the Soviet Government, by giving. assistance: to —

Horth Vietnan and suggesting that some armament be transported by air over Chinese territory, was “endeavoring to establish control over Chinese and North Vietnamese territory."

_ > In-eview-of tho refusal by the Chinese ‘to.permit. air ship~. nents of armament to North Vietnam, it was necessary for the Soviets “to. send-military cargoos by rail which. took considorably longer. If war materials from the Soviet Union were delivered at a faster pace, the North Vietnameso would have suffered fever losses.

Chiness Refuse to Confer

On April 3, 1965, the Soviet Central Comnittee and the Soviet Government, after having taken into consideration the . “aggravating situation" around North Vietnam, sent a proposal to the Central Connittee, Communist Party of China, and thé Chinese Government, as well as to tho North Vietnam Government, requesting that 2 conference be convened immediately for the purpose of 8259. cussing further measures to guarantee the security of North Victnan.

_ _ On April 12, 1965, the Chinese Central Committee and the Chinese Government rejected this proposal stating that,on the question of assistance to North Vietnam, China dad the Soviet. Union should make separate agreenents with North Victnam.. The Chinese suggested that this matter be discussed by-the. Soviet. Union and.North Vietnam Govern= hents at a bilateral conference. The Chinese indicated that they saw no Heed to participate in such a conference. ὃ

THE VIETNAM SITUATION

Sovict Aid Termed Insignificant

"tn its letter of April 12, 1965, the Chinese termed the assistance given North Vietnan by the ‘Soviets as insignificant. The Soviets referred to this allegation as “Srresponsible action" on the part of the Chinese and noted that the Chinese had not mentioned any= thing about the assistance China is rendering to North Vietnam. The Soviets noted that very little is known about thé agsistance China has xendered to North Vietnam, and no information Zs, avadlable as to how the Chinese leaders intend to act in the future on this matter.

Conference Botween Officials of North Vietnan and the Soviet. Union

' In spite of the refusal of the Chinese leaders to take part in a joint conference, the-Central Committce of the Communist Party of North Vietnam and the North Vietnam Government sent a delesation to Moscow, Russia, and a conference was heldfrom April 10 to April 17, 1955, with officials of the Soviet Union. This conference resulted in the coordination of the positions of the Soviet Union and

North Vietnam in the struggle againat “United States aggression” and helped to further strengthen the defense of North Vietnam. During the conference the North Vietnamese officials made concrete requests for arns and economic aid.

Sino-Sovict Dizfercnces Cited by Chinese

| During the conference botween Sovict and North Victnamese leaders, the North Vietnamese leaders stated that they had informed the Chinese leaders of thelr opinion as to. the necessity to hold such a. Gonference.. Eowover, the Chinese leaders did not agree and indicated that thoix refusal to attend the conference was motivated by Sino-Sovict différencesy

Chinese Action Ob ectivel ‘ Encourares A ESsors

The Soviet. Government. on April 12, 1965, sent a letter to the Chinese Governnent commenting that the refusal of the Chinese leaders to participate in joint actions to help the North Victnanese Government “objectively encourages the aggressors." The Soviets ἢ noted that, if the Chinese had participated in the conference between Sovictand North Vietnamése leaders, it would have shown the world the solidarity of the communist ‘camp against "United States. ΝΣ inperialisdi," It also would have shown. the. determination to dadei take collective neasures to, “eool the passion of thé United States: military clique." ᾿

THE VISINAN SETUATION

Sacred International Duty of ALL Connunist Parties

On April 17, 1965, the Sovict Central Committee and the - Soviet Government sent ‘a Letter to the Chinese Central Connittee ond the Chinese Government, again stressing the necessity of coordinating efforts to assist. Noxth Vietnam. In that Letter it was pointed out. by the Sovicts that the strugele against "United States asgression" yequired common ncasures fox guarantecing the security of Marxist~Leninist camp and that, today, this constatuted the sacred international duty of all .communist parties. Tie Chinese haye not, as yot, xoplied to this Letter.

Soviet Interpretation. of Chinese Pas sition

in tho opinion of the Sovict ‘Leaderstiap », tha; resolute wefusil of the Chinese Leaders θά participate iu ‘common actions designed to help North Vietnam is closely connected with the Chinese general position on the question of international unity, in that regard, the Soviets noted that the Chinese in their "papers" on the occasion of the March, 1965, Moscow Préparatory Conference, ᾿ ‘had declared frankly that ‘as far ds the Chinese leaders disagréé with the political line’ of the Commmist Party of the Soviet Union and other. international parties, "there cannot be any question about common struggle against ‘the enenys no question ‘about unity of action." The Soviet leaders. stated that whatever. position is taken by the Chinese leaders the Soviet.'‘Union wlll. do its best to. seek joint actions of Marxist-Leninist countries in aiding. the North Vietnamese an ‘their struggle against the “aggressorss" ΝΣ

The Soviets expressed. current. readiness: to supply North Vietnam with armament to- strengthen-antiaircraft and coastal defenses,

Difficulties Beiiig Experienced by the Soviets

The Soviets are encountering difficulties with the Chinese, who have refused categorically to-coordinate assistance to North Vietnam. On 2/25/65 the Soviets requested the Chinese to allow Soviet planes carrying armament τὸ North Vietnam to fly over Chinese territory. The Chinese refused and suggested that the Soviets desired to take this: action in an attempt to establish. control over: ‘Chinese territory. In view of the AN Chinese refusal, it was necessary for the Soviets to send. military cargoe to North Vietnam by ¥ail which took considerably longer. wre

On 4/3/65 the Soviets in a letter to the Chinese requested that a conference be convened between representatives of ‘China; North.

COMMENTS BY REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION ON RIOT AT UNITED

STATES EMBASSY, MOSCOW, MARCH 4, 1965

A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, in late April, 1965, advised as follows:

During early April, 1965, several leading representatives of the Communist Party (CP) of the Soviet Union, while discussing the riot which had occurred at the United States Embassy in Moscow, on March 4, 1965, characterized the Chinese students who led the riots as "dirty dogs." They remarked that two Russian policemen had been permanently blinded and a number of others very seriously injured as a result of this riot. They openly stated that the riot was an organized conspiracy by the Chinese students who were following orders from their Embassy in Moscow.

~~ These representatives of the CP of the Soviet Union stated there-— - was nothing that the CP of the Soviet Union could do concerning the stopping of this riot. They had to dispel the Chinese students a number of times and finally found out that the only actual way to stop it was to beat. these students up, jail them or literally drive them off. The Russian policemen at the start were in a very difficuit position because: they were not allowed to. use their weapons under any condition, They also noted that in preparation for this riot, the Chinese students had been moving among other Orientals and some of the Africans in Moscow to organize their activity. While the majority of those who participated in this riot were, according to the CP of the Soviet Union representatives, Chinese, there had been some Vietnamese and a few African students who had joinéd then.
